In 2016, she released her single “Who I Am!”, produced by Cleveland producer FC OnTheBeat. For her 2017 single, "I'm Yours", she collaborated with FC a second time. She re-released I’m Yours in 2018 on her EP “Live Now”. Live Now was produced by FC and BJazz Scott (Eric Roberson). The songs she wrote on that EP catapulted her into the international spotlight.
